We express our deep and great sorrow

We, children and grandchildren, will remember you

forever dear and precious parents
Yerachmiel and Peseh Maliyeh Saltuper

We will remember our Father and Zaida, who lived all the years in agony,
as an invalid without legs. The image of our mother will always
appear before us. Even though she was also a sickly [weak] woman,
she looked after our father with great love and devotion,
and in the final minutes [moments] going to the
Nazi pyres [bonfires], to the slaughter, she never
abandoned him even for a moment, and together they underwent
the gruesome fate of their cruel death.

May their bones rest in the communal graves [brothers' graves]
of Ezhereni–Novo Aleksandrovsk.

[from]

Moshe Israel and Mina Sharp-Saltuper and
children, Johannesburg.

Yehoshua Shal and Eli Sharp Saltuper and daughters in Nairobi, Kenya

With these lines we erect an eternal memorial to
Necha, our dear one who passed away
at the age of 49 on 18 Sivan Tashyäg 1st June 1953.

Necha [Nechama] Bakalczuk –Tabachowitz

She devoted her best years and exceptional talents to teaching in the public primary schools in Poland, in the displaced persons camps after the Holocaust, and in South Africa. She was a wonderful personality, noble and aristocratic in her strength of character, in the beauty of her pure and innocent soul, and in her love of our nation and its culture.
You, dear Necha, were saved from the flames of the furnaces, from the inferno of the Nazis, but you enfolded into yourself the period of horrors that were stuck in your flesh like burning needles, and the tempest of nightmares that you experienced always floated before your eyes – together with the terrible tragedy that your children, Yosseleh and Devoreleh,
were destroyed in the death chambers of Auschwitz. All these horrors, of the extermination camps, the tortures, the threats of death and conflagration
that were organized by the wild animals, the accursed Germans,
impoverished and weakened your health.

Those who remain are in sorrow and deep mourning.

Your husband, your friend and companion
Meilach Bakalczuk
Your brothers Simon and Yosef Tabachowitz and families
